I wanted to post this on the Bilateral Group page here, but it doesn't allow members to start a new topic...hmmmm.
I went to a concert at a medium-sized arena last night and sat on the 7th row in the orchestra section right of stage. I watched the jumbo screen to read the singer's lips but most of them held the mic in front of their mouth. The music sounded great with 2 implants, but I only followed about 30% of the lyrics.
When I went to the table to see if I could purchase the tour DVD with captioning, they said none of them were captioned. I replied, with a smile, "That's a good suggestion!"
This won't keep me from going to concerts in the future, but I really hoped I would hear and understand words better.
